Well I'm a happy camper because my favorite Tobe Garrett just emailed me.
Photography like portrait painting/drawing is not only the talent of the artist but the subject as well. Some people are just great to photograph or draw. Even with a rotten camera.
Yet when you get a subject that isn't, THAT'S where the artist's talent comes into play. A top photog knows just what to do especially the photogs that shoot models without all that glitz and special effects. I don't get turned on by airbrushed glamour girls, I like the natural looking stuff that looks like women I would see on the street or at the office.
Some of the new digital cameras are so sharp they catch everything. It's amazing. I remember wayyy back in '97 a guy in Sweden shot a woman who was in her late 40s. A blonde with a wee bit of sunburn but those photos were shot with a new camera and were so clear and lush the pics were a major hit all over the newsgroups. Astounding.
So it's a combination of talent on both ends of the camera but the bottom line falls on the photog. He's got to know his stuff and the proof is in the signups!
